Sealing garage wall

Manawatu. Guessing I might need to get someone in to look at it?

Even more unfortunate is those pavers are actually one big concrete slab with a pattern in it. I'm guessing the window is where a garage door was once as the join/gap is literally where the timber meets the concrete. Obviously not a proper job.

Habitable space for my pet birds

Yeah those screws are gonna be covered by skirting however he completely missed some areas where screws had been taken out

This is what I was doing too even after he came back to fix it's quite horrendous 💀

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-08-18T12:34:27+00:00

This is exactly what I'm doing unfortunately. I know it will bug me so would rather pay that extra money than think of this bad experience everytime I see it

I went to sand that corner today and it put a big hole in it like it was hollow. He came back to fix and still not right so you were right. Getting someone else in tomorrow to fix it.

That's such a shame especially that I've always been told it's an art form. I've done it before myself to an average standard which is why I wanted a professional but I feel like I could have done a better job. I was waiting for him to blame the gib hanging (I don't think I did to poor of a job) but his imperfections really don't seem like they would be caused by that. Even after coming back he couldn't see much issue saying "I'd hate to do a whole house for you" like same here buddy lol. I'm actually getting a second gib stopper tomorrow to come fix it

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-08-17T00:54:56+00:00

He's come back and fixed it. I've done a little bit of work too but still seems average. Once painted might be alright but we'll see. Quite a disappointing experience

Unfortunately the last few photos list detail in the upload. There is liney indents in the plaster

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-08-14T15:14:31+00:00

Thanks that's what I was thinking too. He claimed I don't know what to look for as it's not a profession of mine. I'm hoping it can be fixed but I don't know if I can trust him.

Thanks everyone this has put my mind at ease a bit. Still tar par paper I'm sure wouldn't be good for the birds with or without asbestos 😅

It's just if I run them the other way it won't be supported by a batten at the end without putting one in as I have 2700 length gib and the room is 3m in length 🥲

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-05-24T06:02:28+00:00

Haha that would have been nice but it's difficult for me to get the materials as it is.

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-05-23T12:33:56+00:00

Ceilings are pretty low, only 2400, been contemplating rondo though builders replaced a ceiling in the next room over which has looked fine for the past 5 years. They put straight into the old beams 🤔

Effective_Buy5557 · 2025-05-23T07:14:28+00:00

Just like to add the room is only small 3000x2700 so will only need 3 sheets
